Vertigo performance diff locker gives your truck better traction in the mud in the sand and on the rocks.
Kit includes: Locker, Retaining Ring, Screws and Instructions (gears, bearings and cups are not included)
Talking to clayton from Vertigoperformace and he said that if we are driving our trucks off road 90% of the time and on sand / dry grass is is fine, I have done my research and alot of guy have been using these locker diffs with NO ISSUES, they are yet to see ONE person stuff anything up.

"Hog wash.... My rear diff has been locked (GPM diff lock) for over a year now. I spend as much time driving on pavement as I do on grass or dirt. I have had absolutely no adverse affects what-so-ever."
"On pavement, it still turns just fine. With the rear locked, it pulls quite awesome doughnuts. It does change your driving habits, but easily enough to get used to."
"Two years of running on the stock tires and they still look good."

"Well guy's. decided to try vertigo's new diff lock. So here is my review.
I must start by saying this is a bullitproof design. You no longer need to use a diff cup its no longer needed. You just take 4 scews(supplied with kit) and screw threw the bevelgear to the diff locker making sure to use locktite. The thing I liked the most is the fact that you take the diff drive cup and slide it into the end of the difflocker and use your stock pin slide it threw the diff locker threw the drive cup and put a supplied "oring"over the area to keep the pin in place. On the other end you slide the drive cup threw the bevel gear and put the pin threw it and mount the diff locker to the bevel gear . This makes it basicaly maintanence free. well I loaded it up in my zilla perfectly tuned it and took her out for some good bashing. I cant belive how much more power it puts to the ground . The steering is a little different and takes a while to get used to but the donuts are fun as well. I wish he would have made this much sooner and I would of decided to try one as well. I gave her some good bashing and brought her home and disasembled it to see if there was any signs of wear. There was none looked as good as new. Vertiigo performance recomends offroad use only so you want to keep it off road to prvent damage to the drivetrain. All in all I rate it one of the best hopups I have done. I love the added power to the ground and added traction in rock crawling sessions. the quality and craftmanship shows in this product . I recomend it to all bashers looking for more power to ground."
Best setup - ONE Locker at the back and a 4 Spider mod at the front.......THAT WOULD OWN!
If your interested in a group buy - Price yet to be determined - Post your interest!
Looking about $20...cos there $19.95US!
